„Your patient Goethe-certified guide to speaking German like a native!" My name is Luca, a certified German teacher (DaF/DaZ) with a background in teaching and music. I've lived in Germany, the US, Italy, and Russia, so I can also help with translations in English and Italian. I am a patient, easy-going teacher — mistakes are very welcome in my class! Everyone has their own pace and learning style (auditive, visual, kinesthetic), so I tailor every lesson to the individual student. First, I get to know you — your interests, your goals — and then we design lessons together where boredom will be just an old memory. My method focuses on "Redewendungen" (chunks): these allow you to speak fluently and naturally, like a native speaker, without overthinking grammar. Grammar is important, but it's a tool — not the goal. The goal is that you can speak German. Redewendungen work on a metacognitive level, meaning you'll use them automatically, without thinking. All aspects of language learning are covered: reading, writing, listening, speaking, pronunciation, sentence melody, and intonation. You decide what kind of lesson you want — learning a language must be fun. Book a trial lesson — bis bald!

Luca is an excellent instructor! He was incredibly nice, patient, and supportive during my lesson with him. I strongly recommend him if you want to improve your German!

Luca is awesome! His lessons are exactly what I was looking for—really conversation focused and engaging. He corrects me as we go and writes things down so I can review it later, which is super helpful. I always look forward to our lessons!
